Books Like Legend Marie Lu

Nein mein Freunde! Why I'm willing to bet whoever wrote those books never knew about The Long Walk (or The Running Man being originally also a Stephen King book for that matter) and instead, just felt like cashing in on impressionable American otaku hanging around manga websites talking about Battle Royale!

I'm a big fan of the Gone and Hunger games series too :)

some books I would suggest you try are...

Tomorrow When The War Began series, by John Marsden

Alone series, by James Phelam

I am Number Four series, by Pittacus Lore

Maximum ride series, by James Patterson

Hope u like them

Better than Legend and better than The Hunger Games (in my humble opinion although I loved both of those) is Divergent by Veronica Roth. If you love those books, you'll love Divergent. I promise.

The sequel 'Insurgent' comes out in may. Yay!

EDIT: And I haven't read it myself, but I've also heard that Enclave by Anne Aguirre is good too.

Reading a good booklet offers a richer experience and can leave you with memory that can last years

Reading the e book instead of enjoying the movie is the best way to see what the writer expected. Reading uses your thoughts, hones your reading skills, and can transform your vocabulary.

I loved The Long Walk, and most people don't know about it. The following have similar characteristics to those you mentioned: futuristic, dystopian, decent romance element. Summaries courtesy of yawestruck.blogspot.com.

The Shore of Monsters and Fall of Darkness by David J. Nix - Five generations earlier, a horde of monsters nearly obliterated humanity. All males are dead or ruined by a monster plague; words like 'father' and 'romance' have lost meaning. When teenager Sky joins an expedition to the shore that falls apart, she must survive amongst the monsters that roam the ruins. She gets unexpected help from a very surprising source. Mystery, action, and romance follow! (Romance reminded me of the one between Peeta and Katniss, with a twist)

The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan - Seven generations have passed since the Return, a plague that reanimates dead humans into creatures that feed on the living. Teenager Mary lives inside one of the last enclaves of uninfected, protected by a chain link fence that surrounds her village. When the fence is breached, Mary flees the village with a small band of survivors. Their flight toward an uncertain salvation is both harrowing and revealing, as they try to determine if they are humanity’s last hope. (Love triangle)

How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff - Fascinating novel about the outbreak of a 21st century world war as seen through the eyes of Daisy, a 15 year old American staying with her cousins on a remote England farm. At first utopian, the kid's existence degenerates into horror as the war encroaches on the farm. Through the several month period covered by the story, Daisy grows from a self-centered girl into a determined survivor. This book will leave a mark on the reader for years to come.

Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman - In an alternate reality England, white-skinned people, called Noughts, are an underclass minority oppressed by a dark-skinned majority descended of Africans, called Crosses. Nought teenager Callum falls for Sephy, the daughter of a politically powerful Cross. As their romance grows, so does their safety in a society that does not tolerate racial mixing. When Callum's family is implicated in a terrorist act, the lovestruck teens face difficult choices. Regardless of your heritage, this story will lend you a new perspective on race and what it means to be human. Stunning! (Heavy on the romance, but incredible)

Shipbreaker by Paolo Bacigalupi - In a near future where oil has run dry, grounded oil tankers are scavenged for parts by teenage crews. Seventeen-year-old Nailer works the dangerous duty, hoping to survive his job and his murderous father. When he discovers a luxury yacht wrecked by a storm, he faces a difficult decision: scavenge the ship to become rich, or rescue the sole survivor, a beautiful, wealthy teenage girl. His decision propels him into more danger, adventure, and love than he had ever counted on!

Tomorrow When the War Began by John Marsden - In a fantastic coming-of-age novel, Ellie tells the story of the invasion of her homeland of Australia by a foreign power. She escapes to the outback with six of her friends, where they make plans to fight a guerilla war against the occupiers. Ellie tells the story with superb sensitivity and insight, which generates the power that makes a good story a remarkable one. The relationships amongst the teens are incredibly realistic, and the accounts of armed conflicts are riveting.

Uglies by Scott Westerfield - In a future society, a mandatory operation at age 16 wipes out physical differences, turning "Uglies" into "Pretties". The Pretties are allowed freedom to play, while the Uglies jealously await their turn. Ugly Tally has gotten into trouble that may forfeit her operation. The menacing government offers her a way out: find a group of rebel Uglies, infiltrate, and betray them. Tally agrees, but upon finding the rebels comes to understand the terrible price of becoming pretty.

Unwind by Neal Shusterman is about as close as you'll get imo.
